Friday 22nd May 2009 - 6.30 - 9pm - Poole Quay 09
The planned WOTY/ weekend break on the Southern coastline of the UK, namely Poole and the Jurassic coast area.
Poole Tourism host the laid back event with Porsche's parked around the Quayside for an evening (a dry one hopefully) of chat and flavoured liquids.
Dining on the Friday is an unplanned and social event amongst the many Quayside eateries and bars.
Last year nearly 100 Porsche owners attended this event, this year we hope that it will break the 100 mark, either way there is plenty to see and do harbour side.
This is taking place over a Bank Holiday weekend, so whilst it may add a bit of traffic, it will offer everyone the chance of a pleasant short break.
For Poole Quay you will also need to register here ; http://www.911uk.co.uk/Dorset/poole_quay_2009.htm on the email please put 997 register.
Saturday 23rd- Drive and Dine. Charity BBQ
Upon leaving the event Friday it's hoped that the majority will continue to enjoy the company at the chosen Hotel.
Just outside of Poole itself and set next to the sea we have reserved 10 rooms at the Salterns Hotel.
The hotel offers plenty of free but secure (with CCTV) parking next to the hotel and the cost base is ideal with it only slightly more expensive than the travel Inn experience plus we get a full English breakfast to start our day off.
http://www.salternsharbourside.co.uk/
Rooms start from £95
Standard £95
Side Sea view £105
Seaview £125
They have a range of suites, singles and doubles available at this time.
Please mention Porsche club 997 when making the booking so they can keep me updated.
The start of Saturday we have a short but stunning drive planned first inland and then venturing out to the stunning Jurassic coast to park up and enjoy the views and scenery, be aware that due to it being a Bank Holiday it may well be busy and the parking charge at the stop of West Lulworth is £5
Following on from the stop we will make our way back to the fabulous area of Sandbanks where we have been invited by Bob Fairchild to the hosted Charity BBQ at around 5pm
Bob and his wife will be hosting the 997 BBQ and will be supplying us with food and refreshments.
The idea is that we try and raise funds for the hospice for terminally ill children, a great cause I'm sure you will all agree, the hospice is the http://www.julias-house.org/ - click the link to see the great work they do, on the way back into Poole from the Jurassic coastline we will be stopping off to meet the kids and offer some of the children rides in our cars. The offer of rides to the children is not compulsory, however those that have ever done this will already know how rewarding this can be for both parties
Therefore it's been requested that we all try and make donations of £25 per person by those attending the BBQ.
For this not only will you have great company, be well fed, but also have the chance to win either a bottle of Moet, a golfing umbrella or a case of selected fine wines, all to be presented on the evening.
The numbers to the BBQ will be limited to approx 20 persons so hopefully we can make a fair donation to the good cause.
We'd love to see as many people for the Poole meet, to prove once again how social and interactive the 997 register owners are.
Its a great location for hopefully the southern people to attend.
